  • Sending out love to you all. I'm sure everyone can use a little more of it. ⁣ I love playing with beads. I love the feel of them in my hands. I love how they bounce. I love the way they sound when I return them to the dish or glass where they are kept. I love adding them to just about everything. And so it may not be a surprise that I spent a good hour playing with beads to take this picture. ⁣ These days it is hard to know what to do. I find it helpful to do the silly things that usually I am too busy for. Play with beads. Watch the birds and how they interact. Drink copious amounts of tea. What little luxuries are you indulging in during this in-between time? ⁣ #beads #beading #bead #indulgence #silly #sendinglove #laughing #wacky #instafun #smiling #funtimes #feelinggood #feelgoodphoto
  • Just had to share a close up of the nails @chasingtheroserabbit did for the flip through of She Had Things to Do. I love how she interprets my artwork into the nail design. #naildesign #nailart #art #nails2inspire #artjournal #craftyfingers #nailssart #inspired_nailart
  • Six years ago this month I took my first art journaling class with @kellykilmer. We made our own art journals and then started to fill them. I made some significant progress that day, but there was plenty left to do. It seems that I am not as good at finishing class projects as I wish I was, but each June I fill a spread or two and remember what a magical day it was for me. If you have a chance to take a class with Kelly do it. You won't regret it! Anyway, here is a spread I just finished from that journal. ⁣ One of the great things about working in a journal once a year is that you can really see your progress. ⁣ #artjournal #artjournaling #journaling #mixedmedia #mixedmediaart #collage #collageart #collageartist #collagemaker #collageartwork #collageonpaper #handmadejournal
  • It's in our hands. We either work together or against each other. Let's have a show of paint covered hands for caring for each other. What do your hands do to care for others? I'll start us off - my hands have cooked many meals. And while we are at it, don't forget to wash those hands! #hands #helpinghands #caringhands #showofhands #artisthands #paintcoveredhands #paint #washthosehands #handwashing #fingerpaint #color
  • Sewing. More sewing. I seem to have lost the thread of posting my stitching with #the100dayproject as I still progress. This photo shows how I am using both functional and decorative stitching on my upcycle to tie the pieces together and add some fun. If you sew, is it simply functional, just for decoration or a synthesis of the two? #maker⁣ #handmadeisbetter #embroidered #fiberartist #embroidery #needlework #dmcthreads #makersgonnamake #handstitched #stitch #fabric #fiberart #ourmakerlife #stitching⁣ #sewing #stitchersofinstagram #modernembroidery #handembroidery #diy #calledtobecreative⁣ #recycle #makersmovement #wip #contemporaryembroidery #handmade #fashion #upcycle⁣ #creativelifehappylife

  • Recycling old calendars to make new artjournals. Took them apart and laid down layers and layers. The only problem I have with this method is that sometimes I get too attached to the layers and hesitate to work on them. Do you ever have this issue? If so, what do you do to push through? I would really love to hear your ideas. #artjournal #layers #artjournaling #journal #mixedmedia #mixedmediaart #recycle #upcycle #usewhatyouhave #makesomethingoutofnothing #reuse #ecofriendly
  • #the100dayproject I've been sewing and using up those thread samples every day. So much of it is repetitive, so I haven't posted each day. Having finished a project that had a lot of sewing, today I decided to address the large pile of mending that has been waiting for me. Those thread samples are great for this. I mended a pillowcase, a cami, a vest (my favorite) and a teddy bear backpack. #mending #takingcareofthings #mindfulmending #slowstitch #stitchbystitch #slowfashion #sustainablefashion #sustainablefashion #reuse #maintain #zerowaste #mendingmatters #slowfashionmovement #usewhatyouhave #diy⁣ #lessismore #wearwhatyoulove #livethelittlethings
  • Sneak Peek of the flip through in the works for a journal I made last year. Flipping through I felt that time has gone by, but the pages are still just as valid today. Maybe more so. ⁣ #sneakpeek #artjournal #artjournaling #artistsofinstagram #mixedmedia #collage #makersgonnamake #recycledpaper #collageart #analogcollage #collageartist
